- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
8 single tortillas servings
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 (14 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 (14 ounce) can enchilada sauce
- shredded cheddar cheese
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brown the ground beef and drain off the fat. If using chicken, just throw the taco seasoning with the chicken into a skillet. Follow the taco seasoning directions for the rest of this preparation.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel, for 1 minute.
- Open the can of beans and place 1 tablespoon (or more, if desired) down the middle of the tortilla. Spoon 2 tablespoons (or more, if desired) of the beef or chicken on top of the beans. Roll the tortilla up, the beans and protein lengthwise, leaving both ends open. Continue until all tortillas are used.
- Place rolled tortillas in a 13"x9" baking dish. I usually place the "seam" side down. Open the enchilada sauce and pour oven the rolled tortillas and top with as much cheese as desired. Place in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Top with any garnishes desired.

YUM! And enchiritos are one of the first things I ever ordered at Taco bell, looking to 'expand' my palate....at the age of 13 or 14! LOL That said, these were very good, and close to the TB version. Seems like they use black olives, though. I used ground beef, and a mexican cheese blend and followed with a sprinkling of shredded lettuce. Tasty! Thanks for sharing, Chef Will #2!

Made the recipe as written since it was a change from my usual use of turkey, chicken or pork & it was very tasty, & served 'em with some chopped fresh tomatoes & shredded lettuce (as you suggested) on the side! This was another simple but satisfying meal I shared with neighbors! Thank your for sharing it with us! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
